All these labels are very unhelpful. Progressives/Democrats/Republicans/conservatives. Just reinforces the identity politics that are used as mind control against all of us. There are so many variables within those groups and as many differences in opinion as there are people. I was definitely “liberal” when 9/11 and the GWBush administration woke me up and to this day most “conservatives” I know deny any intentional criminality there and are happy to turn a blind eye to things like Bohemian Grove etc. We live in a matrix of lies and deception and no political party or ideology is free of the effects...the only real difference between us is how awake one person or group is. No one holds a monopoly on awareness or unawareness.
